SOMA-TO-GERMLINE TRANSMISSION OF RNA IN MICE XENOGRAFTED WITH HUMAN TUMOUR CELLS: POSSIBLE TRANSPORT BY EXOSOMES.

Soma-to-germline transmission of RNA in mice xenografted with human tumour cells: possible transport by exosomes.

Mendelian laws provide the universal founding paradigm for the mechanism of genetic inheritance through which characters are segregated and assorted.In recent years, however, parallel with the rapid growth of epigenetic studies, cases of inheritance deviating from Mendelian patterns have emerged.Growing studies underscore phenotypic variations and

A Case of Atypical Cleft Hand - Reported with Ontogenetic Review

An asymptomatic atypical U shaped Shorts cleft hand has been found in a 21-year-old lady attending OPD.On digital skiagram it was found that central digits were absent with remnants of bases of the metacarpals, which have fused with the carpal bones.Moreover, the scaphoid and trapezium had fused to form a single mass.There was no other anomaly in o

Brain mechanisms underlying human communication

Human communication has been described as involving the coding-decoding of a conventional symbol system, which could be supported by parts of the human motor system (i.e.the “mirror neurons system”).However, this view does not explain how these conventions could develop in the first place.Here we target the neglected but crucial issue o
